Eyes on Final Fantasy Forums > Final Fantasy: The Quickening > Final Fantasy VII > Ok.....if FFVII is considered the greatest game ever, why do so many ppl hate it?

[Shoden]

no thats IV and Chrono Trigger

buy it seperate

Anthology has IV and V

[TheAbominatrix]

VI and V were packaged together as Anthologies.

[Shoden]

not in the UK Anthology was only Iv and V i had to buy VI seperate

[The Man]

It's different in Europe, though; VI was released by itself, and IV and V were released together as Anthology. PAL regions have yet to receive releases of either Chrono Trigger or Chrono Cross, which is a great shame.

Edit: Bah, Shoden beat me to it.

[Destai]

Or Xenosaga, or FFTactics I'll gladly sign any petitions to help bring these games to Europe.

[TheAbominatrix]

We dont know where fallenangel lives, which is why I put the American release in my post. I wasnt arguing with Shoden, he simply beat me to it.

[FallenAngel411]

Thanks! Gotta try it now. If so many people like it best of the series, it must be good

Ah, yeah, I live in America. I should put that down, shouldn't I? lol

Wow, I wish I had found this thread a LOT earlier.

I love FF in it's entirety, I've played through every game in the series to date.....and the only one I dislike is mystic quest.

I had received FF7 the day it came out, and it has and always will be my favorite game of all time. Sure, the graphics suck compared to today's standards....but for something released at the time, it wasn't bad. Especially if you consider the games length...

It's almost as if none of you read about the designers for the game. Yoaka Amano created the story line for every game except VII, X, and X2. Originally according to an issue of EGM back in like......97 or 98, Tesuya Nomura, the creator of VII and X and it's followups........he wanted to make a gaiden (side story) for VII between Cloud and Aeris/Aerith. So a followup for the game has been debated about since then, and is now taking effect. Squaresoft wouldn't allow him the money or time to make the gaiden, due to the many projects that were on hand at the time. H

But think about it, cloud did make an appearance in tactics, so he had to be somewhat favored by square. Not to mention the ergheiz game featured many of the cast.

There are few things that make an FF game an FF game.....and VII just happened to incorporate some of them....so in turn, it became an FF game, despite it's utter difference from other games in the series.

Now I'm not saying FFVII is the shiznit or anything like that, in my opinion it is, but I have both a subjective and objective view of things. The open storyline, while confusing to me, accomplished it's goals in leaving gamers captivated. You couldn't create the emotions you did with FFVII in many games of that time, non gamers couldn't see little pixels and be affected by them.....not the same way as the CG scene with Aeris. Not to mention I still remember the commercial for the game...it was oogle-worthy at the time.

And...I've commonly read that a remake of the game wouldn't work quite the same on PS2......maybe PS3 we'll see something arise. Although I openly admit that an FFVII remake would rock my world.

I love VI as well don't get me wrong......just my preference. I love squaresoft games in general. Oh well, I could get into a discussion on FF games and squaresoft games that would go on for miles......so I'm just gonna shutup now. Just wanted to state some facts.
